I do think that this restoration is such a bunch of wank....why not start with either a basket case if you are doing that much work and modification. There is also more scope to build the shell to better tolerance than new.
Rust proofing wise, i disagree about the professional making a long term difference. Stick with the adage of using a good product and some one who knows what they are doing. If you think using waxoil is rustproofing please look it to why it isn't and what things are infinitly better. I am still in praise of ensis fluid by shell.
If you are really bored, think there is details of the glavanized fiat 60's-70's 500. There are many I suspose but this was done by the galvanizing companies owner to show what they could do. He also liked 500s so 2 birds... The car needed alot of work, while galvanized, to stop the panels distorting. Cost was not mentioned but he did say far more than he thought or expected. At a certain point he stopped looking.

The rust proofing work really shows where having a professional makes a difference long-term.
I wonder how accessible that sort of zinc "plating" is from regular bodyshops?
